Now how can we get the resource to do that? In the end, the âstable/unstableâ is very much like a tick/tock: we release, when we find problems in the release (and we find a fixâ¦) we fix the release (tik), while working in tok (big change). It would be better to have payed teams for bothâ¦ Marcus

Exactly. This researcher/industry - lab/delivery is always present, no matter where one goes. I was thinking more along the lines of: Investing in the industry Thousands of vendors depend on IntelÂ® processors for product development. To help them forge ahead with new product advancements, Intel invests heavily in research that drives innovations at the silicon level and establishes new, industry-wide standards. *Combined with the predictability *of Intelâs tick-tock model, these efforts promote faster, more efficient innovation throughout the industryâyear-in and year-out. --- Philippe Back Dramatic Performance Improvements Mob: +32(0) 478 650 140 | Fax: +32 (0) 70 408 027 Mail:phil@highoctane.be | Web: http://philippeback.eu Blog: http://philippeback.be | Twitter: @philippeback Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/philippeback/videos High Octane SPRL rue cour Boisacq 101 | 1301 Bierges | Belgium Pharo Consortium Member - http://consortium.pharo.org/ Featured on the Software Process and Measurement Cast - http://spamcast.libsyn.com Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect and Ability Engineering EADocX Value Added Reseller On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 8:40 AM, Norbert Hartl <norbert(a)hartl.name> wrote: > > > Am 24.11.2013 um 21:18 schrieb Marcus Denker <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr>: > > > On 24 Nov 2013, at 21:08, phil(a)highoctane.be wrote: > > This makes think of the tick tock model of Intel improvements. > > > http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/silicon-innovations/intel-tick-tock-… > > Looks like with 2.0 and 3.0 we are going to have two "tick"s in a row. > That may be too much. > > I am afraid even trying out 3.0 when reading about all the moving parts > that are changing in all corners. > > > Maybe we should give up, define Pharo as finished and be happy. > > > I don't think that every statement that has a notion like the one from > phil needs a response out of self-defense.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Vm-dev] Frequent SegFaults in PharoVM with Pharo 3.0

by Max Leske

Interesting development: no SegFaults (while using exactly the same code) when using an older Pharo image (version 30321 instead of latest). This obviously suggests that the problem lies with the image and not necessarily the vm.
